Brief summary

This study is a single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy of NAD+ supplementation with Basis™ (Nicotinamide Riboside and Pterostilbene) in preventing acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients undergoing complex aortic aneurysm repair and open aortic arch reconstruction.

Interventions

DRUGNicotinamide Riboside + Pterostilbene

It will be administered a total of 1000 mg/day of NR and 200 mg/day of Ptero in a regimen of 2 capsules of Basis™ (each capsule 250 mg of NR and 50 mg of Ptero) 2 times a day by mouth for 2 weeks before surgery and 6 weeks after surgery. Each intake has to be apart from each other by, at least, 6 hours of interval.

DRUGPlacebo

The correspondent placebo will be administered in a regimen of 2 capsules 2 times a day by mouth for 2 weeks before surgery and 6 weeks after surgery. Each intake has to be apart from each other by, at least, 6 hours of interval.

Inclusion criteria

* A patient may be included in the study if the following conditions are present: 1. Male or female; 2. Age \> 18 years old; 3. Patients who match the criteria for indication of elective open aortic arch replacement or repair: 1. Total arch; 2. Non-total arch; 4. Patients who match the criteria for indication of elective complex aortic aneurysm repair has to respect the following conditions: a. Patients undergoing complex aortic aneurysm open reconstruction with a suprarenal clamp; i. thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms Crawford extent I to IV ; ii. abdominal aortic aneurysms of juxtarenal, pararenal, or paravisceral type; b. For endovascular approach: i. patients with pararenal or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms Crawford extent I to IV and known stage III or IV of chronic kidney disease (CKD); ii. patients with pararenal or thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms Crawford extent I to IV and solitary or single functioning kidney and known stage III or IV CKD; 5. Patients will be allowed to participate in concomitant endovascular aortic stent-graft trials and prospective cohort studies as long as these do not involve another investigational study drug.

Exclusion criteria

* Patients must be excluded from the study if any of the following conditions are true: 5.2.1 General
